Abstract

By employing displacement operations, single-photon subtractions, and weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity, we propose an alternative way of implementing several universal quantum logical gates for all-optical hybrid qubits encoded in both single-photon polarization state and coherent state. Since these schemes can be straightforwardly implemented only using local operations without teleportation procedure, therefore, less physical resources and simpler operations are required than the existing schemes. With the help of displacement operations, a large phase shift of the coherent state can be obtained via currently available tiny cross-Kerr nonlinearity. Thus, all of these schemes are nearly deterministic and feasible under current technology conditions, which makes them suitable for large-scale quantum computing.

Single logical qubit information encoding scheme with the minimal optical decoherence-free subsystem

Li Dong, Junxi Wang, Qingyang Li +4 more

We present a scheme for encoding single logical qubit information, which is immune to collective decoherence acting on Hilbert space spanned by the corresponding states. The scheme needs a spatial entanglement gate and a polarization entanglement gate, which are realized with the assistance of weak cross-Kerr nonlinear interaction between photons and coherent states via Kerr media. Under the condition of sufficient large phase shifts, single logical qubit information can be encoded into this minimal optical decoherence-free subsystem with near-unity fidelity. Together with the mature techniques of measurement and classical feed forward, simple linear optical elements are applied to complete the encoding task, which offers the feasibility of this scheme for protecting quantum information against decoherence.

Elementary gates for quantum information with superposed coherent states

Petr Marek, Jaromı́r Fiurášek

We propose an alternative way of implementing several elementary quantum gates for qubits in the coherent-state basis. The operations are probabilistic and employ single-photon subtractions as the driving force. Our schemes for single-qubit phase gate and two-qubit controlled phase gate are capable of achieving arbitrarily large phase shifts with currently available resources, which makes them suitable for the near-future tests of quantum-information processing with superposed coherent states.

All-optical quantum computing using cubic phase gates

Niklas Budinger, Akira Furusawa, Peter van Loock

If suitable quantum optical interactions were available, transforming the field mode operators in a nonlinear fashion, the all-photonics platform could be one of the strongest contenders for realizing a quantum computer. While single-photon qubits may be processed directly, “brighter” logical qubits may be embedded in individual oscillator modes, using so-called bosonic codes, for an in-principle fault-tolerant processing. In this paper, we show how elements of all-optical, universal, and fault-tolerant quantum computation can be implemented using only beam splitters together with single-mode cubic phase gates in reasonable numbers, and possibly off-line squeezed-state or single-photon resources. Our approach is based on a decomposition technique combining exact gate decompositions and approximate Trotterization. This allows for efficient decompositions of certain nonlinear continuous-variable multimode gates into the elementary gates, where the few cubic gates needed may even be weak or all identical, thus facilitating potential experiments. The final gate operations include two-mode controlled phase rotation and three-mode Rabi-type Hamiltonian gates, which are shown to be employable for realizing high-fidelity single-photon two-qubit entangling gates or creating high-quality Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill states. We expect our method to be of general use with various applications, including those that rely on quartic Kerr-type interactions. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Procedure via cross-Kerr nonlinearities for encoding single logical qubit information onto four-photon decoherence-free states

Jino Heo, Seong Gon Choi

We propose a photonic procedure using cross-Kerr nonlinearities (XKNLs) to encode single logical qubit information onto four-photon decoherence-free states. In quantum information processing, a decoherence-free subspace can secure quantum information against collective decoherence. Therefore, we design a procedure employing nonlinear optical gates, which are composed of XKNLs, quantum bus beams, and photon-number-resolving measurements with linear optical devices, to conserve quantum information by encoding quantum information onto four-photon decoherence-free states (single logical qubit information). Based on our analysis in quantifying the affection (photon loss and dephasing) of the decoherence effect, we demonstrate the experimental condition to acquire the reliable procedure of single logical qubit information having the robustness against the decoherence effect.

Efficient and flexible protocol for implementing two-qubit controlled phase gates with cross-Kerr nonlinearity

Yi‐Hao Kang, Yan Xia, Pei-Min Lu

The controlled phase gate is one of the most important logic gates in the quantum computation field. In this paper, we proposed a protocol for implementing the two-qubit controlled phase gates with the help of cross-Kerr nonlinearity, optical elements and the conventional photon detectors, which are feasible with existing experimental technology. The protocol also can be applied to implement the controlled phase gates of many different atomic and photonic degrees of freedom with successful probability of 100%, that is, our protocol is efficient and flexible.

Classical Coherent States Based Quantum Information Processing and Quantum Computing Analogs

Ivan B. Djordjević, Vijay Nafria

It has been recently demonstrated by Bellini’s group that macroscopic states, such as coherent states, can be entangled by the delocalized photon addition. Deymier’s group has shown that phase bits (phi-bits) gates implemented by employing the topological acoustics (TA) principles can be used to implement the TA-based quantum computing analogs. This motivates us to revisit our previous papers where we have already described how to implement the universal quantum gates in integrated optics using optical hybrid, directional coupler, Mach-Zehnder interferometer, and periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguides, but in a different context. In this paper, we describe how to implement the universal set of quantum gates classical analogs in integrated optics by employing classical polarization states derived from classical coherent states. The main problem for integrated optics implementation on a single photon level has been to implement the controlled-phase gate because the existing optical nonlinear devices where incapable of introducing the π rad phase shift on a single photon level through the Kerr effect, which is not a problem at all when the classical polarization states are used instead. We also describe how to implement quantum qudit analogs based on orbital angular momentum (OAM) states and corresponding qudit gates. To highlight the importance of the proposed concepts, we experimentally demonstrate the controlled-phase gate analog operation between the classical coherent states.
